Anti-Entrapment Alarms

An Anti-Entrapment alarm system will alert ground personnel when the operator in the basket makes contact with the platform control panel. It works by interrupting boom movement, sounding an alarm and causing a light to flash.

The system is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible to operators, featuring a pressure sensitive horizontal bar fitted at around waist height below the boom lift’s control panel. The system is activated when pressure is placed on the bar, as may be the case if an operator makes contact with an overhead obstacle.

For convenience, there is a reset button that can be pressed if the system is accidentally activated.
